You appear to have fallen victim to a similar attempt at conflation, Zionism is a movement to fulfill the right for Jewish self-determination in their native land of thousands of years. Being antizionism is antisemitism because it negates the right to self-determination of the Jewish people.

I realize though that what you actually means is anti-Israel, or if we are being more specific, I assume anti-Israeli-far-right or anti-Israeli-right. E.g. if you are for a two-state solution you are in agreement with the Israeli center and left (mostly, but that's just going into too many details).

Except, they could. Reshoring manufacturing was already accelerating before the Chips Act etc with some seasonal back and forth. [1] The increase in labor costs in China and the pandemic have been US Administration independent in causing reshoring, the US shale oil revolution making electricity and many manufacturing inputs globally competitive in price was influenced by successive Administrations including Trump, but the trade war with China motivated a chunk of reshoring and that still animates policy today and that was started by Trump.

I don't think Sony are by any means "good guys". But I think some of your criticism lacks a bit of nuance.

> promising free upgrades and then walking back from it

When did they do this? As I remember they did not promise free upgrades, but was forced to provide them anyway for some games because of the backlash.

> forcing people to use the new controllers even if the PS4 ones are perfectly capable to play the new games

This is an interesting topic. The PS5 controller is one of the console's key selling points over competing consoles. I can definitely understand why they would want to ensure that game developers support that controller specifically. Otherwise its features would likely not be used as much by third party games, which would be a shame.

Obviously Sony factored the additional earnings from controller sales into their decision to enact this artificial limitation. But I think there's more to it than just consumer hostility.

> increasing prices of games and consoles

They were the first company to increase the price of their AAA games, which everyone has since done as well.

How did they raise the price of consoles?

> bullying companies so they don't support cross-platform play

Definitely consumer-hostile. Luckily things have changed for the better in this generation due to better competition I guess. I would just wish that more games would have "console only" crossplay.
How about guerilla gardening, except complete with setting up stone planters, the ones that probably weigh far north of 100 kg? I wonder what would happen if someone were to set up such a planter in the spot where a bollard ought to exist?

Xmonad stayed under a thousand LoC for it's first few releases.

As for this DE, it's main feature seems to be having a topbar that expands itself on hover. But to me that seems like it's biggest issue.

The animation will always seem choppy. And you cannot click anything on the bar directly because everything moves around. And you will inevitably accidentally expand it. It's just bad UI...
The tech nerd in me insists I complain that this isn't a database. It's just a document.

I've read this site multiple times. While some statements there are horrible (and I never said there weren't), many are really taken out of context and/or exaggerated. And most are very early in the war, as I said.

Also, to get to such large numbers, they are putting in statements from random infantry soldiers, random journalists, etc. If you want the list that's actually somewhat relevant, I think only the decision makers one is (22 statements there), maybe parts of the army personnel. Is it really relevant to include "public expressions" made by a football player, or the Australian Jewish association? Does that make sense to call it an "Israeli Incitement to Genocide"?

Are there alternatives for anti cheat that don't require as much access?
Of course you have. When you work for money you trade your time (i.e. a small bit of your life) for dollars. Money itself is ultimately an abstraction for human labour.
To build a trap, the pipe would have to go almost all the way up to the reservoir, then down, and then up again to connect to the reservoir: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(plumbing)

But there might another way to avoid bubbling which I have missed. Maybe the compressed air is under so much pressure that it becomes denser than the water?
Happy to once you explain clearly how that number is relevant to whether a country is democratic or not. Or are you just trying to change the topic?
Ha ha ha. I have a CS PhD and am friends with grad students in many other STEM fields. There are just as many who are "passionate", or whatever geeky losers who waste their life obsessing over minutiae want to be called, as there are people who are working on their degree for the sake of practicality. I would say the latter are in fact generally more successful.
Before I looked at the article I guessed it was because schools are making reading as un-fun as possible

There are many studies on the effect of nicotine. I would look for several meta-analyses or umbrella (meta-meta) analyses. Ideally reporting all-cause mortality.

Here is one like that: ~500k individuals, vaping has an odds ratio of 1.33 (95% CI = 1.14–1.56) for heart attacks compared to non-smoker/non-vapers.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01675...

[edit] To compare that to caffeine, this study does not see a significant risk increase for coffee drinkers. So it seems that vaping is objectively more harmful:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5940396/

[edit2] And an umbrella review, because I like them a lot: This shows that negative effects of high coffee intake mostly disappear when controlling for smoking. Note this paper has a correction, which I think is a great sign of credibility. https://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j5024

We do this in London and it's fine. I don't know if it's a legal requirement, but car parks have barriers around them and pavements are protected with bollards and occasionally fences.

The cost is simply factored into construction and some effort is made to make them blend in with the surrounding area.
Well of course, they might be the boss someday!
We socialized people to realize smoking is dirty, then went ahead and legalized marijuana so now kids who would never have smoked cigarettes are filling their lungs with tar: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/14/health/marijuana-smoke-wellne.... At least cigarettes made people skinny and hot.
Really nothing; you're correct to think of it in the same category as caffeine. Both addictive, yet safe.

But vaporizers have more than nicotine. There's other chemicals needed to produce vaporizer fluid, and it's far too soon to tell if they are safe. Even though most of them have been in the food supply, they haven't been inhaled at scale. We already found one that wasn't safe (Vitamin E Acetate), because it was causing very obvious problems. What about the non-obvious problems?

A more direct comparison to caffeine is a nicotine (not tobacco) pouch.
There are dozens of other products in this category, including completely open source ones you can fine tune.

Commercial applications like Voice.Ai and Koe are real time and have celebrity and anime voices respectively.

The RVC ecosystem on GitHub has dozens of different real time open source voice changers. I haven't kept up with the SOTA, but they're incredible, fine tunable, and 100% local.

> Also note you can get precise JavaScript measurements (and threading) by adding some headers

Though you can access these techniques now, in the weeks after Spectre attacks were discovered, the browsers all consolidated on "make timing less accurate across the board" as an immediate-term fix[1]. All browsers now give automatic access to imprecise timing by default, but have some technique to opt-in for near-precise timing.

Similarly, Swift has SuspendingClock and ContinuousClock, which you can use without informing Apple. Meanwhile mach_absolute_time & similarly precise timing methods require developers to disclose the reasons for its use before Apple will approve your app on the store[2].

Opium War 2.0 - we have too much inertia to stop the "good times", and while everyone had the right to ruin their bodies, they're doing it out of complete ignorance.

The Western relationship to addictive substances is insane, and I hate to admit this, but to a certain extent Wang Huning's thesis about America is right.
How does multiplication work in LWE? Let's say in the non-trippy variant, the "leveled homomorphic encryption".
Strong words ...

I for one inplied (and stated) only two things in my posting:

1. The "Polish Partitions" were not unique nor exceptional "for their time". Predatory behaviour by states in Europe has other examples contemporary to the partitions.

2. The aggressive nationalism, not the least by (but also not exclusively by) Germany wasn't a driver of the Polish Partitions, nor did these cause it.

The latter is at least rather obvious from mere timing - "Germany" didn't exist, and while the two then-largest/then-most-powerful Prussia/Austria participated in it, the largest (by far) part of the German populace was simply unaffected and indifferent. For, say, a Hannoverian, what happened in England or Holland was likely far more interesting, and had a far more direct impact on their lifes, than what happened in Poland.

It's absolutely not an excuse for what happened later, especially not for Germany going down a deep dark path. Did the Polish partitions cause "imperialistic nationalism" ? I'm not sure. Poland got a bad deal from those near-200 years without statehood, agreed. There were a lot of other factors in play then, though, and the world, not even Europe, exclusively revolves around "what happened to Poland", "what Germany did", "what France did" or "what the Church did". If only the history of the world were so trivial, and so objectively to assess.

The only thing, really, we can do today is to stand by "Never Again!". To stand against breeding resentment. For fairness. It's not always easy.
"Modulation used doesn't really change wave characteristics to such significant extent,"

True, except when the ionosphere is changing rapidly and phases change across the bandwidth (as in fading). SSB helps and it's really great for narrow band comms but without the carrier the demodulated audio has pitch problems. Not an issue for basic comms but it is if audio has to be on frequency.

SSB reduced carrier and synchronous detection is another solution.
very useful. will give it a shot.
> While it's a cute idea, I doubt this feature of X has serious support behind, and I don't think any future graphics system, be it Wayland or something else, will support it. Sending rendering commands over a network is just much worse for the vast majority of applications than rendering on the source system and sending a (compressed) video stream.

I totally disagree. Obviously it just depends on your use case, but most user interfaces are almost completely static and sending vector commands is going to be a win over raster in almost any condition. Low bandwidth? Vector wins. High RTT link? Vector wins. Dual 4k screen? Not a problem with vector, but difficult with video and disastrous with raster.

One may argue whether the current implementation in Xorg is useful or not, but conceptually, I see vector as definitely the way to go. Vector even allows you to do some predictive interpolation, while raster -- good luck.

Maybe sending HTML+javascript over the wire is the solution, ala Display PostScript except more fashionable these days. Thinking about it, one could argue that's exactly what we have these days with the web...
Sure, but RDP and VNC can do that just fine, and don't need any special buy-in from the GUI toolkit to do so.

The only technical advantage of doing it the X Server way is if the machine running the program doesn't have the resources/hardware to render.

I know it's not a usual case - which is why I'm saying this doesn't need to be built into the window system at all.

Debian is dropping i686 too. You won't be able to install it soon. Also, the t64 fixes are not happening on i386, since the ABI change that the t64 changes do would break proprietary binaries, and Debian cares more about that use case than about people with ancient i386 hardware, who should just upgrade to amd64 anyway.
I don't see why you're opposing HTTPS everywhere and SNI, HTTP already had the Host header so it is not a new information leak.

It's pretty much mandatory if you intend to serve multiple domains with different certificates from the same host/proxy, which seems like a very very common use case, and there is no alternative to this right now.

Honestly the accents were a really well done part of that movie. A lot of the diversity and variety of Russian culture does not come through to Anglophone ears with fake Russian accents which are often a monotonous stern and gruff voice but.

Keep the logs for retrospective analysis
There is already a court ruling that "at least some of the acts alleged by South Africa appear to fall under the provisions of the Genocide Convention."

Additionally "On 28 March 2024, following a second request for additional measures, the ICJ ordered new emergency measures, given the deterioration in the situation since the initial ruling: ordering Israel to ensure basic food supplies, without delay, as Gazans face famine and starvation"

This is from the Wikipedia. Have you been living under a rock?

Israel is actively blocking delivery of food to the civilian population and has already in one case caused a massacre of people trying to get their hands on basic supplies. At the same time, a minister in the government is publicly calling for occupying Gaza and "motivating" civilians to "voluntarily" leave.

If after reading all this your sincere analysis is move along nothing to see here, I would advise you to recheck the word sincere in the dictionary.

Shame!
This misses the point entirely, what I mean is that if we didn't already have DOM we wouldn't invent it again — we would invent something like UIKit that has all your premade debuggable accessible components but without the kludge of the DOM.

I think this gets to the core of web devs seemingly not knowing anything else. Not knowing that, from a technology standpoint, how much better you could have it.
Have to agree the lower salary means you have to love it to spend years doing it. I moved to CS because of that mainly.

(1) Thanks for the writeup, this is classic HN content, a simple app that solves a person's problem with enough interesting technical detail to make it interesting.

(2) Definitely post this to the App Store! I'd happily pay a few $ for it even.

(3) How would it handle burpees? Would it just ignore the 'jump' phase? But still count the push-ups since it's zeroed in on the up/down motion of the push-up itself?

You can pull the parts out of the hole anytime you want to - special equipment is normally used, but a rope and a tripod to hold a pulley over the hole works (might not be safe).

What is at the bottom of the hole is a "injector" which is basically a U shaped pipe and a small jet to push water back up. If the well water is only 25 feet below the ground a pump at the top along works. This jet system gets down to 60 feet. The pump down the hole gets to 600 feet (check the pump specs - many are rated to only 250). After that you need oil well type pumps where the motor is at the top of the hole but the pump is lowered down.
The netflix documentary is pretty amazing. You get to see people start of with ideals of making smoking safe and as time goes on and they make deals for money, that they justify the increasingly evil things they are doing because they are making more money.
The Qatari government has been hosting Hamas at the request of the United States and Israel, which want to use Qatar as an intermediary (similarly to how Qatar facilitated talks between the US and the Taliban).

Al Jazeera has more journalists on the ground in Gaza than anyone else. They're some of the only independent media there (because Israel has blocked international media from entering, but Al Jazeera already has people there). If you want to know what's going on in Gaza, you watch Al Jazeera.

i'll tell you the difference between search and language processing. if you have 10 chapters each highlighting 10 unique points, search works great as the book is basically a sub book of 100 topics.

but for books like medical texts, all chapters have similar sub-headings, so the book is like a table with medical conditions as rows and approaches like pathology, physiology and pharmacology as columns in chapters. this is why simple search throws up massive false positives and is mostly useless.

the complexity in medical field stems not from existence of vast array of unique features but due to having a fixed vocabulary of features in different permutations for distinct conditions. so word level searches are far less efficient than paragraph level searches where the meaning is inferenced by considering every word in its vicinity
Do you have any clue how many window managers are out there?

I have a simple proposal why SE’s are externally strapped for time: upgrades.

No not security patches. Upgrades. Like ‘oh the newest best version of React was released yesterday and I’ve just GOT to have those and management doesn’t understand how productive I’ll be and they shorted us on our last upgrade by not letting us go all in’

This endless treadmill of half baked framework features and ui refreshes streaming in the root problem.

I really think a team that can close the gate and seal the seams from the problem would be the most effective.

That would mean your most important KPIs would be something like:

* number of new features imported from frameworks (close to zero is ideal). These are expensive, like millions of dollars each.

* number of security patches applied/response time/etc (maximize these)

* eliminate things with no or short LTS, measure weighted lts: (LOC using framework multiplied by framework LTS)

Now this in and out itself isn’t sufficient to measure an organization’s productivity, but these would would keep it on the straight and narrow so other measures would become effective.
So avoiding using the word is a good heuristic, not an algorithm.
Do they have to actually follow through and deliver concretely on those things? With some expected concrete impact?

If so, then I wouldn’t consider them performative at least.
